Talisman Emperor
Chapter 733 Surprised
Fidgety thoughts?
Based on this, the topic refers to the heart of a person who is restless and unable to calm down.
But for cultivators, these words provided plenty of food for thought and struck directly into the Heart of Dao. When the Dao Heart was not tight, then one could not understand the Dao, and if the Dao did not exist, then one would not be able to cultivate.
To put it simply, it meant that if one wanted to cultivate, then one had to first tighten the Heart Dao, as everything would be nonsense if the Heart Dao was not tight.
But if one had to cook these words into a dish and clearly describe the concept within, the difficulty of achieving such a thing was completely beyond imagination.
All the spirit chefs in the hall were stunned when facing this topic.
They originally held the thought of watching the show because they wanted to see how this person, Chen Xi, who sneaked in would humiliate himself in public. But they all fell into deep contemplation when they looked at this topic.
This topic is very difficult because it is very subtle and difficult to see. Just based on its meaning, it was very difficult to connect the unsettled thoughts and dishes, and it could be said that it was the most difficult topic to know in the entire second round.
If I have drawn this topic, then how should I prepare this dish?
All the spirit chefs were contemplating in silence.
In the host's chair in the hall, all the elders of the Taotie Clan sneered endlessly, and they felt extremely happy in their hearts. If not for them having to think about their attitude, they really wished for nothing more than a roar towards the sky.
They swore to heaven that they had absolutely never imagined that Chen Xi would actually draw this topic! What an evil thing he brought to himself!
Tao Zhentian frowned, and he bitterly laughed endlessly in his heart. Only he knew about the topic in the second round, whereas the other elders had not even touched it, thus stopping the possibility of cheating. But he also never imagined that Chen Xi would be so unfortunate and attract the most difficult topic in the second half.
He was even a little worried that Chen Xi would suspect that he was deliberately making things difficult for Chen Xi through underhanded methods..If it was like this, then he would really be falsely accused!
Because among these 100 topics, 99 of them were set by him, and it just so happened that this topic, Unsettled Mind, was not set by him!
Just when the thoughts of everyone in the hall were thinking quickly, Chen Xi put down the paper and started moving.
He started choosing the ingredients he needed, and he only took four types alone – Azure Serenity Spirit Fruit, 100 Times Folded Fire Ginseng, Gold-spotted Jade Liquid, and so on, and the kind of venison spirit meat.
After which, he returned to the stove and started preparing the ingredients.
His movements were meticulous and meticulous, fast like the wind, aggressive like fire, smooth and skillful, and he looked unshakable like a mountain, causing him to carry a profound and indescribable aura.
Only this series of movements attracted the attention of many people.
Everyone present had sharp gazes and had developed their Dao Culinary over countless years, though, so they saw with a fleeting glance that all that Chen Xi revealed were achievements that had reached the peak of perfection, and they could not be faked at all.
This caused most people's impression of Chen Xi to change. At the very least, just based on this, Chen Xi's look was not inferior to a true seven-leaf spirit chef.
"What's he doing? He only chose four ingredients yet wanted to cook a dish that fit the topic, Unsettled Mind? ”Someone muttered in a low voice and was a little confused.
“Azure Spirit Serenity Fruit, Fire Ginseng 100 Foldable. One is sweet and cold, the other spicy and hot, like water and fire. According to the matching of the attributed ingredients, they are conflicting, and this seems a little bad. ”
"That Jade-spotted Golden Liquid was an extreme Yin attribute as well, whereas the venison spirit flesh was an extreme Yang attribute. One was Yin and the other, they were attributes that also conflicted with each other. Matching ingredients .. Haha. ”
“Oh, this is so strange. If not for me seeing his technique of preparing skillful ingredients to the extreme, I would really suspect that he knew nothing about the Culinary Dao. How could there be a spirit chef in the world that matched materials like this? ”
All the spirit chefs whispered in the discussion, and they were all perplexed by this scene and were unable to figure out what Chen Xi was doing.
“Everyone, it is better not to judge too early. First of all we have to hear what Master Qiu Feng said. Someone spoke before cupping his hands respectfully to an old man beside him.
"Oh, right! Master Qiu Feng could be said to be the most knowledgeable person within the Culinary Dao, and his skills were outstanding. Whether Chen Xi was a real thing could be determined by his judgment. ”
As they spoke, everyone turned their gaze towards the old man.
The old man was wearing a loose white robe, and he had gray hair and cushioning like a sage. He politely declined when he heard this, and then pondered for a moment and said, “In my opinion, the selection of materials by this child may have gone through careful contemplation. One water, one fire, one Yin, one Yang, and someone who did not know about the Culinary Dao would absolutely be unable to choose ingredients like this. ”
He paused for a moment and continued. “If I cook it, then I will also be able to fulfill the topic of 'Unsettled Mind' with these four ingredients. I only need to contain Yin in Water, Yang extract from within fire, and then cook 100 Times Folding Fire Ginseng and venison with raging fire before cooking the Azure Serenity Spirit Fruit and Gold Speckled Jade Liquid with Netherfrost Flames … "
"In the end, the venison spirit meat cooked with the 100 Times Folding Fire Ginseng would be in the middle, whereas, The Azure Serenity Spirit Fruit cooked with the Gold-spotted Jade Liquid would be distributed around it to form a phenomenon where the fire came out of the water but never dispersed and Yin hugged Yang while Yang shot to sky. It would feel so overwhelming that it would be enough to make one's mind become unsettled and unable to control oneself. '' Master Qiu Feng spoke confidently and it was as if it had come easily to him, and it caused all of the spirit chefs nearby to become dazed and click their tongues in awe while feeling sincere admiration.
As expected of Master Qiu Feng, he dealt with the matter of water and fire, and Yin and Yang were at odds in a few words, and he released spirit energy from the four materials just to the limit. His methods are so clever that it is hard to believe!
Even the elders of the Taotie Clan nodded silently as this cooking method was indeed original and profound to its limit.
"Eh, he seems to have other thoughts," said someone in surprise.
Everyone was stunned and raised their eyes to look up. Sure enough, they noticed that Chen Xi had actually started cooking, but the method he used was completely different to Master Qiu Feng.
"Hmph! If he cooked like Master Qiu Feng's answer, wouldn't that mean his culinary skills could be compared to Master Qiu Feng? Is that possible? ”Someone denies.
"Haha, I can already predict that as long as the Taotie Clan doesn't do anything underhanded, then this kid will definitely lose this second round of competition!"
"So in this way, the first place in the second round belonged to Master Qiu Feng?"
"Is there any doubt about this?"
Everyone started discussing, and they did not notice every move that Chen Xi made anymore. On the other hand, they started asking about the final result of the second half to each other, and they all looked very well at Master Qiu Feng.
Qiu Feng stroked his beard with a smile on his face while he acted politely, yet he could not help but feel complacent and satisfied in his heart.
He went into closed-door cultivation for 20 years to study Dao Culinary in detail, and he was only a step away from becoming a Grandmaster Spirit Chef. He participated in the Spirit Chef Gold Rankings this time first for the sake of observing the culinary skills of others, and second for the sake of pride and satisfaction.
According to the situation before him, he was fully capable of easily advancing to the final round, and this was beyond doubt. He only cared about who would get first place in the competition.
Uh!
Right at this moment, his gaze glanced unintentionally, and his students instantly shriveled while the smile on his face froze slightly when he saw Chen Xi's cooking technique.
At this moment, not only Qiu Feng, Tao Zhentian's eyes were sitting on a focused head chair as well as he stared fixedly at Chen Xi while showing a surprised expression.
Not too long ago, the spirit chefs who were happily discussing the second round rankings noticed the unusual expressions that Master Qiu Feng had revealed, and other than a little surprised, they were not surprised, they could not help but shoot at Chen Xi. After which, their smiles froze on their faces as they revealed shocked expressions.
This kind of strange atmosphere spread like a wave of silence and stretched throughout the entire hall, causing the hall to become silent in a few moments.
The atmosphere was silent to the extreme, and there was only the sound of the hissing of spirit flames as Chen Xi cooked.
…
Chen Xi's mind was blank as he concentrated on the furnace in front of him, and the powerful Divine Sense was like the myriad of tentacles possessed by an octopus as it acutely and smoothly controlled the changes in the spirit flame.
His movements seemed to be measured before. They are precise, clean, and simple, yet they carry a rhythm that flows like water or like a skilled butcher cleaning an ox.
Spirit fire, materials, equipment .. Under the control of his hand, a miraculous change was produced, and it was not like he was cooking but like he was finishing a work of art, it is filled with beautiful visual enjoyment.
Hissing! Hissing!
Inside the iron skillet, the hot air warped upwards while the oil luster flowed, and it let out a hissing sound as strands of seductive scent that seemed to be able to pierce its way into the depths of one's depleted soul.
He was so concentrated, yet it just so happened that so many scenes from the past often appeared in his mind. Studying in Pine Mist City, the ordeal in the Southern Barbaric Mountains, annihilating the Li Clan, Hidden Dragon Rankings, annihilating the Su Clan, Allstar Meeting, Primeval Battlefield, joining the Nine Swords Sword Sect, all of them are now in the dark, Abyss Parasol Darkness…
The distant past, the upheavals and difficulties it faced, the flapping of knives and blood, the mixture of tears and death, the bumpy road and the thorns along the way. Did it just hold back its cultivation?
Nah!
It also softened the heart that was looking for Dao!
If one were to ask the sages and gods since time immemorial about how to reach the Dao, then that was simply by subduing one's heart!
If the heart is calm, all thoughts will soar, and it will be like the reflection of the moon in a well, impossible to disturb.
If one's intentions were stable, then the hell in the eyes of others would become a heaven in one's own eyes, and one's mind would be uncontrollable.
Chen Xi's current state of mind could already be considered completely resolved, it was following his will yet morally incompatible, free, and unrestrained, causing his impulses and illusions to be unable to disturb his heart.
…
In less than 15 minutes, a plate appeared. The dish was very simple like a plate of ordinary meat sauteed with green peppers. But when one looked at it, the sky above the plate was encompassed by two completely different phenomena.
One was the terrifying and terrifying demon world where Heavenly Demons roamed and vengeful spirits howled, and there were even terrifying scenes like rivers of blood, bones, and purgatory.
The other was heaven, the ground was covered in gold, while flowers floated down from the sky. A dragon and phoenix flew and carried prosperity while a golden lotus grew from the ground, and was filled with light and light.
These two phenomena cannot be put together, and they change each other. It was just like the circulation of Yin and Yang, the mixing of water and fire, and it brought about a surprisingly breathtaking visual impact.
Everyone was shocked, and the hall was silent.
They were faintly able to hear the invisible Dao chant –
When the heart is impure, it is impossible to distinguish between the eternal and the evil.
When intentions are not established, then good and evil are impossible to distinguish!
